Your vacation will be starting soon and you need these arrival instructions for your rental home. On your arrival day, you may check-in at any time after 3:30 p.m. and there is no time limit when arriving late at night. If you consider arriving before 3:30 p.m. then please contact us to check if the cleaning has been finished and if the home is ready for your occupancy. If you rent a car, it is very useful to rent it with a GPS Navigation system or to bring one along.

The last ¼ mile in words: Drive on Summerlin Blvd and turn right onto San Carlos, drive only 200 yards and turn again right, onto Linda Loma, go straight, stay on Linda Loma until the street ends, turn right into Juanita, drive about 50 yards until you see the Kimble Drive on the right side. Please drive 100 yards into Kimble Drive and you will see house number 11411 on your left side, or easier to recognize the right building by this photo:

You will recognize the house by the 6 foot tall wood fence on each side of the building. Please park on the driveway or grass area, where you find an open space. Walk through the right wood-fence gate, marked with the red arrow.

Walk straight into the entry hallway passing the screen door. There are 2 doors at the end of the hallway; the entry to BeachTurtle is the door on your left side.

There is no key needed as the door has an electronic code-lock. You have received from us the code via email. After you have printed this page you might want to

write the lock-code down: ______________

To unlock the door please enter the code. On the lock buttons: Please pay only attention to the single-first-digit, uneven numbers.

B-B-Q Grill
We provide all our rentals with an electric Grill. You may use the grill outside on your patio. Please clean the Grill after using it and please place it back where you found it. The cleaning lady does not clean the grills, so these will be as clean as left by the last tenant. Please leave them clean, as you would like to find them.

Beach stuff
It could be that the previous guests have left some beach items behind. These could be beach toys, air floats, folding chairs, umbrellas, mats, fishing poles, etc. Those are items that guests have purchased for themselves and then left behind at departure. Please be aware, that we do not provide any warranty or support for their existence, function or condition.

Bedding
All our bedrooms come with fresh washed linens. We do have two different styles of bedding ware. First style is the regular American style with top-sheet and comforter. The second style is the IKEA-style (imported from Scandinavia) and it is the common style in northern, middle and eastern Europe, including Germany and Scandinavia. This style does not have a top-sheet. Instead it has duvet-covers , slip-overs that cover the entire comforter. Those are washed at any guest exchange, just like as you would wash any top sheets. This style has one duvet-covered comforter for each person, meaning also a King-size bed has two duvet-covered comforter instead of one. Our inventory of American or IKEA-Style bedding is about half-and-half, as is our origin of guests. Our cleaning staff has mostly one set bedding pre-washed and exchanges bedding during final cleanings. Therefore it will be random of what type of bedding is setup for you.
If your rental has additional sleeper sofas and you have planed of using them as beds then please bring extra bedding for those with you. We don’t supply bedding ware for sofas.

TowelsWe supply only two shower-size towels per booked guest. Sorry, we don’t supply any other size towels or wash clothes. Please bring them with you if you need them.

Toilet – Please do NOT flush any feminine hygiene products or non-dissolving toilette paper down the toilet. It will cause the plugging of the narrow pipes. The cleaning lady supplies 2 rolls of toilette paper per toilette-room to get you started. She also supplies the trash bags that are already in the kitchen trash can or bathroom trash can but not extra bags.Plugged Sink or BathtubPlumbing in Florida seems easy to get plugged. If that happened please let a few inch water into the tub or sink, take a plastic bag and hold it tight over the overflow inlet (the opening where the water would go before it overflows the tub or sink), make sure you hold it tight because it need to be air-sealed. Take the toilet plunger, place it other the drain, press it slowly down and pull it faster out. That procedure is working the best to free your drain.

Windows / DoorsIn the Winter month you might want to keep some windows or doors open. Please pay
attention to weather conditions and make sure all windows and doors are closed when it
rains.

The above calculated target-temperature is the coolest possible setting. It can be adjusted to off or any warmer settings via cell phone SMS message to 2392880441 + Unit Name + Number Fahrenheit.
Because the thermostat is computer-network-controlled all buttons are without function.
Do not try to press any thermostat buttons, they will not work at all.
Do not try to disconnects the thermostat, it will cause an alarm to go off followed by an $50 service trip charge.
For saving energy, FPL-Florida recommends to keep the target-temperature constant at 78F or warmer: FPL-Recommendations

Cleaning

For your convenience you will find a small power vacuum for tile and wood floors.

We do not supply any cleaning products, laundry detergents, or additional paper towels and trash bags. There is no cleaning service performed from us during your stay but you don’t need to worry about the final cleaning. Our cleaning staff will clean the unit and wash the laundry after your stay.

All other trash-cans are for all other kind of trash. Please move the BLUE trashcan MONDAY evening and all other trashcans TUESDAY evening to the road. Pickup is the next day and could be early in the morning. After pickup, please move the empty cans back to there prior location.

Hot-Tub / Spa
Important: Never place a child or any heavy objects on top of the hot-tub cover. Please be aware, that it could break easily, even if the cover feels firm because it is only hard Styrofoam, but it has a replacement cost of about $ 400.
Please flip or fold the cover to the right or left to open the spa only if you use it and always leave it covered when not in use.

After using it, always dry your feet and put slippers or shoes on your feet when you walk back into the tile floor area inside the home. Always be aware that tiles are very slippery when wet. Parents are at all time responsible for their children and they need to watch them all the time too.

You can choose the temperature of the water with the Temp-button. Each time you press this button the temperature will raise and you can choose the temperature you wish the water to reach. Due to health reasons, we recommend to choose a temperature between 96 and 98F. Please DO NOT go into the water if the display shows a temperature of 104F or higher.

Pressing the Light-button, you can turn the lights in the hot tub on and off and you can even choose a changing color mode.

After using the hot tub, please make sure to turn the temperature back to 96F, please turn the lights off and set the jet to a slow mode. After some time, it will turn off by itself and it will start the filter mode cycle every 12 hours.

In case that the hot tub does not turn itself off or in case it gets warmer than the temperature which was set, then it could mean that the non-stop-mode has been activated and the F1-Mode should be set again.

If nothing appears on the display, it might be that the hot tub has been turned off. It can be turned on by operating the power shut off button in the case on the wall. Please press the flap a little bit down, so the cover of the box can be pulled up until you see the switch.

If the hot tub should reach a temperature of 104F or higher, then please turn the switch off and let the hot tub cool down.

Please ALWAYS place the cover back on top of the spa to avoid leaves or dirt falling into the water.
When travelling with children, please always move the stairs away from the spa to avoid accidents with them.

The water in the hot-tub is changed every 6 weeks. Bromine is used as a disinfectant. The swimmer-device with the bromine tabs shall remain in the hot-bub. Bromine tabs are refilled by our maintenance as needed. Bromine can make the water color yellow/brown and cloudy after usage. It also can cause a strong chemical odor when first opening the lid of the hot-tub. Unfortunately that is necessary to keep bacteria out of the warm water.
With lots of hot-tub usage it might be not enough care. You may need additionally to care yourself for the water’s quality. Please take a clean water bottle and take a water test to the nearby Pinch-a-Penny shop: http://www.pinchapenny.com/local/southwest-fort-myers
They will measure your water and sell you in small bottles the correct water clarifier or chemicals.

On the right side of the garage gate you will find a keypad. Please lift the lid and enter the code 1962 followed by pressing the up/down arrow. Please make sure that you press all buttons deep and slow, especial the last button, the up/down arrow need to be pressed and hold for almost 2 seconds, otherwise nothing happened. To close the gate, please repeat the same procedure.
This video demonstrates how to press the buttons correctly: https://youtu.be/zak2DRm6U9M

Please do not use a bike, if you find something not working on it. Please place the bicycles back in the storage after using. Please do NOT use the bikes to drive on the sand on the beach and also avoid getting them wet with salt-water. The fine sand and the salt-water damage the bikes and make them useless. Please place the bikes each evening either back to that garage or into a dry storage at your rental.

No-See-Ums (Bug Bites)
You might wake up in the night or morning and something is itching. No, it’s not bed bugs, fleas or anything in your rental. It’s the bites from the invisible No-See-Ums bugs common in our area.

Best protection is the regular Mosquito repellant. Good worked always the spray called “Off Deep Woods” sold at Publix and Walgreen.Ghost Ants and Sweet AntsYou want to make sure to keep all sweets away, sugar in the refrigerator and other sweets like cookies etc. in zipper bags. Please rinse empty drinking glasses right away. Those little ants only need hours to find their way in hundreds. The only way to keep them out it being strict about no sweets being exposed. Once they are in, they will keep looking. The only way to get ridge of them is the Terro liquid ant killer, sold by Publix or the Ace Hardware Store at the corner San Carlos Blvd and Kelly Green Rd. Apply little drops at corners that are passed by the ants and re-apply twice a day for about 3 days. That will eared their colony.

Useful local guidance

NeighborhoodThis is an open community with no restrictions like in closed adult- or other gated communities. You will find an international mix of short- and long-term-tenants all ages, with and without children. Kids play here often outdoors with bikes or balls in the small neighborhood roads. Please drive slow and careful, watch for kids, pets and elderly neighbors. Weekends might be party time and music could play in some back- and front-yards. Please be tolerant with your neighbors.
The community bordering Publix supermarket offers the convenient option that you can push your shopping cart home and leave it at the curbside for the weekly pickup.
